Superb work and atmosphere

Alina is friendly and very knowledgeable about design the right hair color and style for me.
They are not over expensive like many in LA for the same quality work.
The shop is warm and welcoming.
When I moved out here, was afraid I would never find anyone as good as my hair dresser from Florida, but this place surpasses my expectations.

Alina is AMAZING! Really, what more needs be said? I went to her after moving back to California and seeing that all my old hairstylists were no longer in business. I went to her after reading the reviews on Citysearch - and they're all true! Her hair cut just always brings out the best in my hair, my facial structure, everything! Very easy to care for and the cut really holds its shape in between cuts. What more can you ask for? Besides, Alina is just plain fun to talk to and her salon is great. Like icing on the cake (or is that a la mode???).
- Pros: Perfect Hair Cuts!
- Cons: We must begin cloning Alina

I recenty moved to Glendale and just knew I would have to keep driving to Beverly Hills to have my hair cut correctly. Fortunately, I've found the only place I plan on getting my hair cut for some time to come. The staff is friendly, the salon itself is clean, quaint and contemporary, and the cuts I've recieved so far have brought me lots of compliments. I even came in last minute before attending the Academy Awards and there was no problem making room for me... and walking out with a cut worthy of the red carpet. Thank you to Alina and the rest of the staff... Keep up the amazing work!
- Pros: Professional - Personal - Priced Right
Matts is a color genious!!!

so, i have been to so many G town salons and sorry to say, they are stuck in the 80's. i was referred to Matt by a co-worker after having seen her highlights that he did. he does the damn thing so well- it just blends. none of that tacky, thick, stripy look stuff going on. I have the most beautiful blond color now even though i am naturally a brunette. He referred to it as a "sunkist" blond and there is no other better word. the guy knows his stuff and i will be the next person to refer him my contacts. the receptionist there is a sweetheart and tended to my every need. strongly recommend!!!!
- Pros: skill
- Cons: loves it
Always Get Compliments

I have been getting compliments on my hair ever since I first started seeing Alina 3 years ago. That's why I'm a loyal customer. She does my hair exactly how I request it, and it looks fuller and healthier every treatment. I have jet black hair which she has taken to light blond. I have requested it it various shades of blond, brown, and red, and I have never been disappointed. The best part is it always looks so shiny, like I have gold in my hair. On top of all that, Alina is a wonderful, sweet person, who remembers all your stories and treats you like a friend!
- Pros: friendly, great colorist
Don't believe the hype

Been here before, got a mediocre at best haircut and horrible highlights--super tacky. This salon MUST write their own reviews. It is not possible she has this volume of positive reviews. Especially since last time I tried to post mine she had it removed. It's a sham.

Why don't you write about what exactly happened to your hair and what your experience was at the salon? We would have fixed your problem. I am not sure why you would assume we write our own reviews, since all of our clients are return clients and they seem to have been happy with our services. I don't think any business owner would actually be able to come up with so many different experiences that a client would have.
Again if there are any issues you may call the salon and we will be happy to assist you.

I felt so pampered by a good friend!

I'm new in California and had been looking around for a good salon. It was nerve wracking finding somebody to take care of my hair since I was with a good stylist back in my old home town. She took care of my hair (cut,color,styling) for the last 5 years. I was pretty happy with her. Good thing I found Alina through city search and all the raving reviews about her are simply true! I set an appointment with her for hair cut and color and she was very warm and pleasant on the phone. She gave me an estimate of how much it was going to cost which took out some of my apprehension. I didn't want to spend an exorbitant amount on my first appointment!
When I got there, the place was very pleasing to the eye. Alina greeted me like I was an old customer and asked me what I wanted to do with my hair. She was honest and gave me me her opinion and made suggestions. Her staff was very professional and friendly and they make sure you are comfortable and taken cared of all the time.
Alina is great with her customers. I had a grand time. We talked about a lot of stuff and I felt relaxed and at ease. She is so funny too! My hair looked amazing after. Definitely going back for another appointment. This is theraphy for me.
- Pros: Thumbs up!
Great cut,color and exstensions!!

Great exsperience at this salon! First time, had a cut and color from one of the stylists, so I went back for hair exstension a few months later. Alina did my exstensions 16' and matched my hair color perfectley (dark brown with a few lower tones). The studio is inviting, with a front porch to go out on if you want to step out while your waiting for your color to process. Alina is nice and cares about what she does and it shows. Also, Matt does awesome styles for men, I watched as he did four cuts, also her assistants are very sweet. Thanks alot Alina ;)

Best Hair Salon EVER!

I love, love, LOVE Alina! She's the best. I've gone through a ton of hair stylists and she's the one I'm sticking too. She's super friendly and super talented! I love talking to her and I love the way she does my hair. I got a bad layering haircut when I was in high school at some other salon and vowed never to do that again but with much push from my friends and hubby I tried it again thinking it'll grow out if I hate it.......SO since I trusted Alina, I decided to come to her with the idea and she thought it'd look great on me. And she was right! She did the best job to it! I have really thick hair and I'm asian and Alina gave me layers without it making me look like your typical Asian from HK or wherever (no offense, that look's just not for me). I loved the style so much that I'm going back agian to get the same thing! She also helped me get the best Red color without making me look like I stepped out of a cartoon. And it lasts for a long time too! And believe me, with my super dark black hair, it's hard to get it to change to any color, let alone have the red last for more than a week. Anyways, I can't afford to go to the hair salon very often (and with this economy, who can these days), but Alina's prices are very reasonable and she'll never judge you and she'll always greet you like a long time friend, whether you visit her every few weeks, every month, or even every year. She always remember you and she's always friendly! I love this girl! =) ~~~Tiffani
- Pros: Best Customer Service, Works wonders
Miracle Worker

My mom never let me dye my hair until I was 18, so on my 18th birthday after reading the reviews left on this site, I decided to go to Alina to devirginize my hair. I never regretted that decision, in one sitting I went from dark brown to a beautiful shade of blonde and all of my friends were amazed at how by dying my hair ONE TIME it could come out amazing. The second time I dyed my hair, I made the mistake of letting my beauty school student friend dye it for me...BIG BIG MISTAKE. I was bleached overprocessed blonde/orange/brown and I went back to Alina hoping for a miracle, and ofcourse I got it. She somehow changed my 3 tone hair color into an even beautiful red color. The story goes on...then I went on a trip to cancun (constantly swimming in the ocean+pool+scorching sun, so salt water+chlorine+sun=disaster) I came back and my hair was pretty much blonde black brown orange red and every color in the rainbow. I doubted that it could be fixed, cause I had screwed my color up pretty bad this time. Alina just looked at me like "Anya not AGAINN" but ofcourse a little while later my hair was a gorgeous deep shade of red, no trace of the colors of the rainbow. I'll never let anyone else touch my hair. She is an amazing and gifted colorist ,stylist, miracle worker etc , and not to mention her personality is THE BOMB. Everytime I go back I just tell her to do what she thinks will look good...that is how much I trust her judgment and she ALWAYSS makes my hair look better than I could have ever imagined.If I could give one thousand stars I would , but 5 is the maximum. Ps: Alina I know you read these, so i'll tell you here that I think I miss having blonde hair ;) hahaha. -Anya
- Pros: perfect color,style,great atmosphere, wonderful EVERYTHING
Better than the Best!

Alina and A la Mode studio is the best place in LA for hair hands down. I found Alina on Citysearch when I was thinking of extensions. When I went for the consultation, I knew immediately from how Alina talked about hair that she was the gal for me. Since then, I have come to know her work more and more. Her color is spot on, her cuts are excellent and she does amazing extensions. But, the best part is Alina. Visiting her salon is just that; like a visit with a good friend, who just happens to have the talent to make my hair look fantastic. I have never, ever, walked away feeling anything but great about the experience. Her salon is professional, inviting and warm. I've been to some of the best known and priciest salons in LA, NY and SF and would much rather go to Alina than any other. For all the glamour of well known-high priced, salons they are, to be frank, not worth the coin. For the average girlie-girl gal like me, I find the intimacy of A LA Mode much more satisfying and I always come out feeling like a Supermodel. Alina is not only an excellent stylist; she is a wonderful person, who is a great role model for all small business owners. She knows her clients, she knows what looks good on them, and she knows how to take care of them. Everyone (both men and women) whom I have seen Alina work on look great when she done working her magic. You can't go wrong with Alina; she is simply the best for my money.
- Pros: Intimate, friendly and excellent services
